This represents an 18% increase compared to the previous year, making 2024 the third-busiest year in the airport’s history. The growth was driven by new routes and stronger connections to key markets such as the UAE, Canada, South Korea, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and Spain.
Throughout the year, the airport added 41 new routes, bringing its total to 181 direct destinations worldwide. Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors, credited the success to strong partnerships with airlines and a focus on efficiency. He noted that the average aircraft occupancy rate exceeded 83%, highlighting both environmental and economic benefits for the Czech Republic.
Looking ahead, Prague Airport has set ambitious goals for 2025. It aims to serve 18.4 million passengers, which would set a new record. This growth is expected to be fueled by expanded air connections and competitive policies designed to attract more airlines and travelers.
The airport’s strategic efforts, including route expansion and partnerships with airlines, have not only boosted passenger numbers but also strengthened the Czech Republic’s position as a key aviation hub in Europe. By improving global connectivity, Prague Airport has played a significant role in driving tourism and economic growth.
Looking ahead to 2025, Václav Havel Airport Prague is set to set records again and consolidate its position as a major player in Europe’s aviation industry.
